>> what a meeting that'll be geoff, thank you breaking news overnight, the world's biggest meat supplier hit by a major cyberattack this morning, it is leading to serious concerns over the food supply and prices. nbc national correspondent miguel almaguer joins us with the details on this one. miguel, good morning. >> reporter: savannah, good morning. jbs usa says it was the victim of an organized cybersecurity attack that impacted some of its i.t. servers in the u.s. and even shut down some operations abroad the company is the leading supplier of meat products here with over 80 u.s. properties alone. out the attack yet, but says in a statement they are not aware of any evidence that any customer, supplier, or employee data has been compromised. this comes less than a month from the colonial pipeline cyberattack that led to gas shortages and panic buying. a one-two punch of recent cyberattacks raising concerns over the country's

cybersecurity. savannah? >> it is breaking and early, but is this expected to impact prices at the grocery stores? >> reporter: that is a major concern. the company says this may delay certain transactions with customers and suppliers, which could ultimately mean possible shortages and a spike in prices. it comes at a time with already high prices. meat is already up nearly 5% compared to last year. much of the cause of concern impacted by the pandemic and other factors. this attack, the latest renewing fears that those prices could only go higher. savannah? >> miguel almaguer, thank you very much. craig joins the table with another story that's being watched very closely. >> hoda, savannah, good morning. good morning to you, as well. in texas this morning, republicans are regrouping after that dramatic walk-out by democrats to block the passage of a sweeping and restrictive new voting law. nbc's morgan chesky is in dallas for us this morning. morgan, good morning. >> reporter: craig, good

morning. a dramatic scene at the texas state capitol. this walk-out by the texas state democrats marks the fourth time in the state's history that that's ever been done to stall legislation. this very well could become law, this marks a major stumbling block in the national gop effort to put new measures in place at the ballot box. in texas this morning, democrats are vowing to fight on after blocking a republican effort to impose sweeping new voting restrictions. staging a last-minute walk-out from the house chamber sunday night, preventing legislation that had been widely expected to pass from even coming to a vote. >> we don't take this stuff lightly. we're going to fight like hell. whether it is in a regular session or special session, we are going to bring our courage. >> reporter: texas' republican governor greg abbott threatening to use his veto power to cut off funding to the legislature if democrats continue to fight the bill. tweeting, no pay for those who abandon their responsibilities. stay tuned. abbott says he'll call legislators back for another vote on the bill during a still unscheduled special session. if enacted, the texas voting legislation would end

drive-through and 24-hour voting, including prohibiting sunday voting before 1:00 p.m., which critics say unfairly impacts black voters. it would add proof of identity requirements for absentee voting and make it easier for a judge to overturn election results, even without proof that fraud affected the outcome. texas republicans say it ensures integrity at the ballot box. >> i believe it'll serve the people of texas well. >> reporter: still, many texas officials admit their state's 2020 elections were secure. texas has become the centerpiece of the gop's effort to tighten voting laws. driven by former president trump's false claims that the election he lost was stolen. more than a dozen states now, including florida, georgia, and iowa, have enacted new restrictions on mail and in-person voting, with similar bills in progress in dozens of other states. and president biden has already publicly denounced the texas bill. in addition to the measures

already in place in georgia and florida, calling them an assault on democracy. this puts pressure on the president and other democrats to stop the republican laws that so far is stalled in washington. craig? >> morgan chesky in dallas, thank you. quarter after the hour. >> roker time. >> roker is back. >> we missed you, babe. >> missed you guys. missed you guys. didn't miss the weather we had in the northeast. memorial day. a lot of folks got some really nice weather, as well. out west, record heat today. cool for june as we continue out west. kansas city, 9 degrees below average. look at sacramento, 99. 102 in las vegas. portland, 23 degrees above average with temperatures at 93 degrees. but unfortunately out west, they could use some of the rain in the east. temperatures are up to 110 this afternoon. parts of the west, we have heat advisories, heat watches, and heat warnings for folks. in fact, we are looking at possibilities of records today.

started about 9:45 last night. the spokesperson for the police department told us that two officers were involved, they were conducting an investigation and that's when they say the suspect confronted them, and that is when the officer-involved shooting occurred. the suspect died from his wound but they didn't give us a whole lot more information other than that, and he says that's going to take a couple days to learn more details about what happened. back to you. >> all right, thank you very much, sharon. we're also watching for some fire danger as we've had some hot temperatures, vianey, a little bit of a cooldown today. >> just a little bit but the biggest cooldown is around the coastline thanks to fog, a live look over san francisco. check out dense that fog is. we will be significantly cooler in some spots down through oakland, palo alto but san jose, morgan hill, livermore area still in the upper 80s and because we have all of that dry brush out there, including also into the sacramento area,

we're going to talk to nbc sports' mary carillo in a moment first, molly hunter with the details on this. molly, good morning. >> reporter: hey, guys, good morning. that's right, a total stunner. this is a tough industry, but naomi osaka is one tough athlete. she is being applauded for standing up for herself, speaking her truth, but not by everyone >> naomi it should never have come to this >> reporter: this morning, the world's number two seed is out >> this is a truly shocking, shocking turn of events. >> reporter: after being threatened with expulsion and suspension if she continued to skip press conferences, osaka has withdrawn from the french open in a candid statement on social media, the 23-year-old shared she's suffered long bouts of depression since the u.s. open in 2018. she said she often wears headphones, helping to dull my social anxiety i'm not a natural public speaker, she wrote, and get huge waves of anxiety before i speak

to the world's media i get really nervous and find it stressful. >> every time you ask me a question, i hold my breath >> reporter: back in 2018, osaka spoke with hoda and savannah after beating serena williams in the u.s. open. a victory marked by boos from the crowd and tears from osaka >> tell us about that moment >> i just felt very emotional, and i felt like i had to apologize. i knew that how badly the crowd wanted her to win. >> reporter: on sunday, organizers gave the four-time grand slam winner a stern warning, fining osaka $15,000 for skipping two press conferences. firing back, osaka tweeted, anger is a lack of understanding. but by monday night, she was done the tournament responding, we are sorry and sad, wishing her the quickest possible recovery reaction pouring in with athletes from steph curry to russell wilson to american tennis star coco gauff expressing solidarity. tennis legend billie jean king tweeted she was torn writing, athletes have a

responsibility to speak to media. also calling osaka brave serena williams said tough press conferences made her stronger but supported osaka. >> not everyone is the same. i'm thick. other people are thin. so everyone is different, and everyone handles things differently. >> reporter: now, serena also said she wished she could give naomi a hug. naomi said she would take time away from the court for herself. we are expecting, guys, she will represent japan in the olympics later this summer. savannah >> molly, thank you very much. let's turn to nbc sports' tennis analyst mary carillo good morning it is good to see you. >> good to see you the cruel irony of all of this is naomi wanted to be low profile at this tournament and said she's its biggest story. >> mary, one thing we can all agree on is nobody wanted to be here with naomi osaka not at the french open. how did this get so wrong so

fast >> you know, we have come to know after yesterday's message from naomi, she suffers bouts of depression she didn't want to do press and, frankly, she's a media darling as you know, the press loves naomi osaka, the fans do, sponsors do. this is the highest paid female athlete in history she wanted to pull back. look it's that old maya angelou line, when someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time when she arrived on the tour as a 16-year-old, she explained how she's a child of the internet. she is awkward speaking. she's shy. she said when she used to see serena williams in the locker room back in the day, she'd pretend she was on her phone so she wouldn't have to make eye contact and speak. so those of us who followed naomi's career know she is like that

but, you know, it got so bad that -- and the general rule should be, you know, don't cut what you can untie frankly, i wasn't terribly surprised when she made that announcement, that she was pulling away she hated to be this big, huge story. it was awkward, uncomfortable. i was calling the tennis yesterday from the nbc studio in stamford, connecticut, guys, and john mcenroe was calling the same matches from his home in malibu john is verbal john talks a lot there were long stretches when john just sat back, you know, in his chair and said nothing he was gutted that it came to this. >> mary, what do you think the french tennis association could have done to untie this? because it sounded like they kn came down really like a hammer >> you know what, hoda i genuinely think the message they first gave, the press conferences are mandatory, and there's very little in terms of press that is mandatory. most athletes go on their social

media and create their own messaging on every platform that they like. i honestly think the message was for the other players. to say, look, we appreciate that you all understand your obligations. frankly, naomi was contrite in her message yesterday, and just said it was bad timing and my messaging was muddled, essentially. honestly, i feel like if we can reimagine ways to make press conferences better, that would be great, but as a member of the media, i mean, we are so hamstrung right now, especially in this age of the pandemic when everything is by zoom. you know what i'm talking about. we have less and less ways to get to these people. >> we know some players say, you know, they may not love -- who wants to go meet the press after you lost and you're gutted about it but a lot of players say it is part of the job.

it's as much a part of the job as playing the game. can you explain that some people, i'm sure, are thinking, well, why should she have to talk to reporters if she doesn't want to? can you explain how that goes? >> that's right, savannah. i have a problem with all these people coming down and saying the media broke naomi. i mean, frankly, look, i think her life has gotten very crowded. she's very famous, very wealthy. she's not like your main man roger federer, who walks on this earth so lightly and gives press conferences after losses in three different languages. i mean, she's not built that way, and that's fine i think the obligations that she's had with all of her sponsors, i think that could be overwhelming there are swollen expectations for what she represents. you know, she's become an activist, and it is not easy for an introvert to become an activist like that i think it's created a lot of corrosive doubts i am so glad that she is stepping away. it's the only -- honestly,

struck so it really just drives home the risk posed by so much space debris it's a small hole in the robotic arm connected to the international space station. the canadian space agency says it was struck by a piece of flying space junk, but the arm, built and provided by canada, is still operational. >> the arm is in great shape the arm has been cleared to continue nominal operations, and we're doing that. >> reporter: robotic operators noticed damage during a routine inspection last month, but experts say the lucky strike is another reason to pay close attention to a sea of orbiting space debris zooming by at speeds of more than 17,000 miles per hour >> what happens with the canadian arm is an example of debris that's going very fast and can go right through something. that's pretty dangerous. >> reporter: orbiting up there at least 23,000 known pieces of space debris of all shapes and

sizes. some as small as a screw, others the size of a softball or chunks of old defunct satellites. all of it tracked by the u.s. space surveillance network while the space station can alter its position slightly if needed to dodge debris, and nasa can instruct crew members to take shelter, close calls with all the debris in outer space is nothing new. >> three, two, one, ignition, lift-off >> reporter: in april, the astronauts on board the spacex dragon were alerted by mission control their ship would come uncomfortably close to a piece of debris. the crew ordered back into their space suits because of the unlikely chance of a collision. >> we do need you to immediately proceed with suit donning and securing yourselves in seats >> okay. we're getting in the suit, and we copy. >> reporter: minutes later, that debris, possibly a chunk of an old satellite, passed harmlessly by, 28 miles away. >> launching more and more satellites, there will be more

and more chances of collision. with the collisions, it'll cause even more pieces of debris. >> tom, i was today years old e when i found out there was a space surveillance network that tracks all of the space debris some countries, are they doing more to try and remove it altogether >> reporter: so this is a big priority right now, a japanese company called astroscale is actually working on a project they want to essentially -- they've already launched a satellite into orbit, and then the satellite will try to match up with, dock with, other old junk, old satellite pieces, and kind of grab onto it almost with a magnet, and then force that down to earth. the trouble is, you know, we mentioned 23,000 pieces. the truth is, there could be hundreds of thousands of pieces up there, depending on how you classify them. this is a massive clean-up operation, and it will take an awful lot of money and an awful lot of time, potentially years, to get this done >> sounds like space is a mess tom costello, thank you.

and bigger mountains got to mt. everest, and i had to see what the mountain would give me at my age no one was sure. it is only now this is soaking in it's been a wonderful experience, but i'm as surprised as anybody, let me tell you. >> so, you know, by the way, getting down is just as hard and maybe harder, so maybe that's why the relief hit you then. >> yeah. >> what was that moment? when it hit you, hey, i did this, and, wait, i marched myself into the record books, too? >> yeah. i was aware of the fact that i would be the oldest american there were two people, actually, a japanese climber and a nepalese climber who were older who did climb it i was aware of it but, you know, it wasn't my main focus. i was concerned about making sure i had the reserve energy, i had, you know, the ability to actually get down safely i was so focused on that, that when i got back down to the camp off of the summit, i was just

overwhelmed with the emotion frankly, to be quite honest, i thought about my family. i thought about my grandchildren, one of whom was born while i was on this expedition i started crying >> oh. >> really quickly, you mentioned the grandchildren. you have six, and one of them is apparently named everest >> yeah. >> what are you going to tell everest about this climb >> i have to tell you, i don't want to tear up here, but i have to tell you, i came here in 2019, tried to climb the mountain i actually had an accident where i fell off one of the horizontal ladders and twisted my ankle, which took me out of the game. came back. so my youngest, our youngest grandson, born to the same parents, maddock was born during this expedition, but last time in 2019, my son and daughter-in-law sent me a note while i was on the climb announcing they had named their first son, who was about to be born, everest. kind of after this attempt on my part

so it's been really emotional, as you can imagine i haven't seen the little guy for almost a year because of training and covid and wanting to be careful about, you know -- i've been inoculated and vaccinated, but i haven't seen them yet i can't wait to get home and visit now that it's safer and, as you said recently in your story, america is starting to reopen which is great news. >> what a great reunion that is going to be. we just want to say thank you to our mt. everest record holder arthur muir. thank you so much. congratulations. great job. >> thanks. it's a pleasure. thanks very much great to talk to you >> can't even imagine. >> no. >> this guy. >> i think it is sinking in now, pretty cool. al, what you got >> by the way, kudos to graphics team that wall behind you -- >> looks good? >> thank you. >> we were noticing the foreground >> oh, there is a mountain view? >> beautiful handsome. oh, the mountain, yeah. >> back to you.

like store credits where you might have a credit in your wallet and can use it like cash. rewards points change in value over time. and most likely the value is going down in april, we saw southwest air start to devalue their points. you want to start to use them. remember, in the last year, we canceled all sorts of things travel industry was more generous with accommodations you might have vouchers and points you forgot about. this is the perfect time to reach out and figure out what do you have >> okay. steph, if you did cancel a flight and you did get a voucher, you can't just hop on any flight you have to read the fine print. what should we look out for? >> this is the most important thing, the fine print. things like travel by date and book by date make sure you know what those details are. listen, you could say to me, steph, i'm not ready to travel well, if you just don't do anything, then you're going to lose these points. at the very least, reach out to the travel company reach out to the airlines and say, i'm not ready to book that

flight can i have an extension? there is a good chance you'll get the extension, but i guarantee, you won't get it if you don't make the call. >> steph, a lot of folks spent the last year buying stuff online, especially my wife what is the best way to redeem those credit card points >> reminder, craig, chances are, she was buying things for your entire family, so do not blame her for that. >> you go, steph. >> man. >> touche. >> we have a lot more points than we realize. this one a year when we were out spending cash. a lot of us were racking up points on our credit cards and didn't know it according to the points guy, the best place to use your points, the best value, is on airlines as a general rule, 1 cent for every point. ical domestic flight is >> steph, what if you already have points with an airline, what do you need to know about

that >> okay. the most important thing you need to know if you have those points is when can you use them? they are going to expire by a certain date this is what is really important, if you have a credit card tied to an airline, if you don't use that credit card, inactivity could mean the points go away, too could be as simple as buying something small or transferring points, but make sure you use the credit cards i don't want you to use those points flights are getting expensive. >> okay. steph, we saw all the video over this past weekend, airlines, airports are crowded when is the best time to book? should people be booking now >> asap, right as we move away from covid, as more restrictions are lifted, people are getting more comfortable, people are traveling and flights are booking up we know according to hopper, domestic flights, we're expecting prices to peak, get the highest, around fourth of july for international flights, late june

beyond that, so many of us want to see friends and family. this has been a long 14 months if you've got any big events in the next year or so, try to book sooner rather than later the best chance you're going to get a deal or more flexibility from the travel company is if you give yourself more time. >> steph ruhle, that was great we learned a lot my wife texted me and told me to tell you thank you for more tips on how to get deals on everything from flights to groceries, even college tuition, check out today.com/onthemoneytoday. >> steph, thanks. coming up next, harry smith joins acclaimed chef alice waters in her backyard garden for a casual conversation on her 50-year fight to change the way we eat
